If I use a router on a dsl connection and I'm sending out bulk mail from the
three computers the router is hooked up to, is the speed (in sending out the
emails) divided into thirds, because I'm routed to three computers and only
have one DSL connection?
If I have DSL and want to rout 3 computers, when I send bulk email, from
each computer simultaneously, does my server act as if I were working with
only one computer or with three seperate computers? Would I be able to send
out more bulk mail if I had three computers routed to just one DSL line? Or
would each computer only be 1/3 as fast?
Comprende?
Thanks for your advice and I apoligize if I haven't been clear. I'm not a
geek!

When you say 'bulk email', do you mean spam, or is it legitimate bulk
e-mail (e.g. an e-mail list that users can un/subscribe to/from)?

Leaving aside the problem of what that bulk email is.. if you have one DSL
connection with one computer the get the speed of x.
With three computers you get the speed of x/3 , as they all share that sime
line..
IF it happens they interleave their outgoing tarffic suitably, it might get
a slight bit faster..

Hi,

Your DSL line will have a limit on its upload speed. Regardless of what
configuration you use behind the router, or even without one, the maximum
upload bandwidth cannot exceed the limit set by your ISP. Be aware too that
upload speed is often considerably slower than the download speed you pay
for, it is not unusual for a subscriber to have a 768K download speed
limited to a 128K upload capacity. Their advertising focuses on the download
speed, not the upload. Check with your ISP for the bandwidth restrictions.

gentile jim,
Your ISP may restrict the amount of bulk mail that is allowed to be sent out at any given time, or bandwidth use. This maybe an anti-spam or anti-file/media transfer policy. You may need to check with them what is allowed.
